What's On Tonight (Thursday): Tune In, Dropout and Turn On

 

via Tenor

Tonight’s top pick is the last installment of The Dropout, dropping on Hulu. It’s been quite a run for “the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire,” as played by Amanda Seyfried. But all things end.


Let’s see what TV has to offer us for Thursday, April 7. All times are EST.


STREAMING

The Dropout, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. Season finale. “Lizzy.” “In the wake of the Wall Street Journal article, Elizabeth and Sunny face a reckoning.”


Tokyo Vice, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Series premiere. American journalist Jake Adelstein (Ansel Elgort) covers the Tokyo Metropolitan Police during the “neon-soaked underbelly … (of) the late ‘90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem.” Three episodes available.


Laura Pausini — Pleased to Meet You, 12:01 a.m., Amazon. The Italian singer, celebrating 29 years of global fame — and I literally just heard of her while writing this blurb — “is, for the first time in front of the camera, in a project aimed at revealing her true soul to the public through unprecedented glimpses of her private and professional lives.”


Return to Space, 3:01 a.m., Netflix. Another dubious documentary! This one “follows Elon Musk’s and SpaceX engineers’ two-decade mission to send NASA astronauts back to the International Space Station and revolutionize space travel.”


Close Enough, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Third season premiere. Return of the “adult animated comedy series (that) dives into the life of a millennial family and their divorced BFFs, who all live together under one chaotic roof in Los Angeles.” Eight episodes available.


Star Trek: Picard, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. “Two of One.” “With the help of Tallinn, Picard and the crew infiltrate a gala on the eve of a joint space mission, to protect one of the astronauts they believe to be integral to the restoration of the timeline — Renee Picard. Kore makes a startling discovery about her father’s work.”


Minx, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. “God save the Queen of Dicks” and “Oh, so you’re the sun now? You’re the giver of life?” Two episodes available, finale next week.


Julia, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. “Petit Fours.”
